A positive pregnancy test indicates the possibility of pregnancy, but an ultrasound confirms it. An ultrasound is a critical step to determine the following:
- Is your pregnancy developing, or have you miscarried?
- How far along is your pregnancy?
- Where is it located?
Don’t skip this crucial step. Get a free and confidential limited ultrasound at The Center for Women following a positive pregnancy test result.
You May No Longer Be Pregnant
Experts estimate that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage, and 80% of those occur in the first 12 weeks. You can still receive a positive pregnancy test after a miscarriage because it takes your body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels.
How do you find out if your pregnancy is developing or if you’ve miscarried? With a limited obstetrical ultrasound.
Are You Planning On Using the Abortion Pill?
The FDA approves the use of the abortion drugs used in the abortion pill method through 10 weeks of pregnancy only. The further along you are in your pregnancy, the less effective the drugs are.
One of the possible outcomes of a medical abortion (the abortion pill) is an ongoing pregnancy if the drugs don’t work. Being aware of all of the potential physical risks, like heavy and prolonged bleeding and severe cramping, before taking the abortion drugs is essential. You should also be notified of the emotional risks.
An ultrasound can correctly determine how far along you are in your pregnancy.
You Need to Know the Pregnancy’s Location
You may be wondering why the pregnancy’s location matters. Although rare, some pregnancies form outside the uterus. This type of pregnancy is known as ectopic. Only your uterus can sustain a developing pregnancy. If it begins growing elsewhere, it could cause life-threatening complications.
An abortion will not solve the problems of an ectopic pregnancy. You may need surgical intervention. An ultrasound can determine the location of your pregnancy.
